Bergère with Hand-Carved Wooden Flowers

Buy me, Amber ... I'm only $25!!
Okay, so I'll admit, the upholstery on this chair is a little more shabby than chic, but I can only imagine the way it must have looked brand new ... insert sigh and swoon here.  What I loved most about this chair were the hand-carved flowers in its wooden frame.  Yes, I said "loved" as in past tense, I forced myself out of the store before I could buy it.  

The truth is I just wouldn't know how to refurbish the upholstery (although I can picture it in a gorgeous pale pink or grey silk damask or a more functional and durable burlap treatment - see pics below).  





I wasn't crazy about the shape of the arms (too pointy)

Liked that there is a slight wing-back to it!
LOVE!!
